I picked up the morning paper
The headlines were no surprise
A random act of senseless violence
Was committed again last night
It seems the whole world has gone crazy
And something needs to be done
So starting today, I’m gonna find a way
I’m gonna repay someone

With a random act of senseless kindness
Unexpected hand to help remind us
A little bit of love is the cure for hate
It’s easy to give up but it’s never too late
A single step in the right direction
Person-to-person, making a connection
We can change the world that’s become so violent
With a random act of senseless kindness

How I long to live the simple life
When neighbors were still friends
And the sidewalks leading downtown
Were safe to walk back then
The classrooms and the school yards
Were havens for our kids
Well, it’s a long way back
But we can get on track
Today’s a good day to begin

With a random act of senseless kindness
Unexpected hand to help remind us
A little bit of love is the cure for hate
It’s easy to give up but it’s never too late
A single step in the right direction
Person-to-person, making a connection
We can change the world that’s become so violent
With a random act of senseless kindness

Random act of senseless kindness

A little bit of love is the cure for hate
It’s easy to give up but it’s never too late
A single step in the right direction
Person-to-person, making a connection
We can change the world that’s become so violent
With a random act of senseless kindness
A random act of senseless kindness
